It was a bit cold that day.

Lu Yuan was holding a meeting with his startup team. The provincial competition was in its final stage. While others could leave school for winter break after their final exams, Lu Yuan and his group had to stay on campus for another week to participate in the provincial competition. Their winter break would only truly begin after the provincial competition was over.

Yesterday, the final exams at the University of Finance and Economics were over, which means Ye Yixian is on vacation, but she still has to wait for Lu Yuan to leave together.

After the holiday, the school dormitory could no longer be lived in. It wasn't that it was impossible to live there, but there was no water or electricity. So Lu Yuan arranged for Ye Yixian to stay in a hotel outside, and they would travel together when he had his holiday.

As it happened, Gao Zhe and Wang Qingyu were also on holiday, so they stayed at the hotel together.

Gao Zhe hadn't left the provincial capital not just to wait for Lu Yuan, but to gather information about Hu Chenghui.

Lu Yuan had just finished his meeting when Gao Zhe called, apparently having found out some information.

Lu Yuan answered the phone and asked, "How did it go?"

Gao Zhe was a little excited and laughed, "Brother Yuan, you won't have the chance to visit Hu Chenghui in prison anymore."

"What do you mean? Didn't they arrest him?"

Lu Yuan and Hu Chenghui have completely broken up. Given the latter's vengeful nature, if he were to make a comeback, it would be bloody.

The best outcome, of course, is to put him in jail for life. Even if he comes out in twenty or thirty years, he will be old and frail and no longer a threat.

Gao Zhe said, "They didn't catch him; they just shot him dead."

"Killed?"

Lu Yuan was surprised. The people who arrested Hu Chenghui were government officials. How could they just skip the legal trial and shoot the suspect dead?

"Yes, absolutely, he was killed." Gao Zhe was very certain. "If you don't believe me, you can go to Longhui Computer City and see for yourself. It's all sealed off, with lots of police tape. The general situation is like this..."

In the following time, Gao Zhe recounted all the information he knew.

It turns out that through the Lin family's manipulation, Hu Chenghui was accused of multiple crimes, including illegal lending, violent debt collection, and tax evasion. When the authorities came to arrest him, he probably felt guilty and violently resisted arrest, resulting in a fight between the two sides at Longhui Computer City. It is said that more than 20 people died.

Hu Chenghui had a gun, which shows he was a ruthless figure in the underworld. If it weren't for the Lin family's intervention, Lu Yuan wouldn't have fared well no matter how he got involved with this kind of person. Therefore, the best way was to eliminate him.

Lu Yuan originally intended to send him to prison for twenty years, not to kill him, but he arrested himself and was shot dead.

Doesn't Hu Chenghui understand the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn?

No! He understands!

However, he also knew that in twenty years his mountain would be a barren mound, with no green hills left to speak of. So he wanted to take a gamble. If he could escape abroad, he would still have the chance to continue living a carefree life and even find an opportunity to take revenge.

Of course, his reasons for resisting may not be limited to this. Perhaps he really wasn't just bluffing Lu Yuan. He has more than a dozen lives on his hands, and if the investigation goes on, he could face life imprisonment if not the death penalty. Neither of those options is acceptable to him.

In short, Lu Yuan would not cooperate with such evil forces. These people only care about profit and always want to take the lion's share. Once you are no longer of any benefit to them, they will turn you into pieces and throw you into the beautiful landscape of the motherland.

At this point, some people might say that people in the underworld value loyalty, and as long as you treat others sincerely, you can gain true brothers.

Hey!

All I can say is, read fewer novels and watch fewer movies.

Lu Yuan didn't want to be involved in the underworld because people in the underworld would be severely cracked down on if they showed their faces every few years, and they would be beaten even if they didn't.

Lu Yuan only wanted to be a legitimate businessman and make clean money.

Lin Jinfu understood this early on, so after clearing his name, he stopped doing things that were illegal.

Lin Jinfu was a great help in Lu Yuan's success in eliminating Hu Chenghui, a potential threat.

Of course, Lin Jinfu didn't help Lu Yuan for nothing; Lu Yuan offered him a very tempting deal, which I will keep secret for now and discuss later.

Lu Yuan then called Lin Kai and chatted for a while.

Although Lin Kai didn't show his face in the whole affair, he played a crucial role.

If it weren't for his help in contacting Lin Jinfu, Lu Yuan wouldn't even have had the chance to negotiate with Lin Jinfu.

"I asked my dad's assistant, and Hu Chenghui is indeed gone." Lin Kai told Lu Yuan with great certainty, "Those people who were loyal to him are either gone or arrested. His entire faction has definitely been wiped out. Just relax and focus on your studies in the provincial capital."

"That's good."

In matters involving personal safety, Lu Yuan would definitely eliminate any potential threats and would never leave himself with any safety risks.

At this moment, Lin Kai added, "Longhui Computer City will have a new owner soon. You can go and take a look when you have time."

"Your family?"

"I don't know," Lin Kai smiled. "I'm well aware of my current situation. I've been excluded from the family. I have no idea how the family business is run or who's in charge."

Does he really know nothing at all?

Perhaps he's become quite shrewd in the last six months and is already considering taking power.

Lu Yuan should be thankful that Lin Kai is on his side; otherwise, without a powerful backer, he might not have been able to maintain his business.

Just when everyone thought the conversation was over, Lin Kai added, "My sister is going to be in trouble."

Linna!

Lu Yuan was quite curious, "What happened to your sister?"

"Normally, my dad wouldn't care how much she spends or how extravagant she is, but this time she crossed the line... You should know my dad's bottom line, right?"

Lin Kai didn't say it explicitly, and no one told Lu Yuan what this bottom line was, but Lu Yuan could guess that it was that Lin Jinfu would never allow his children to get involved with organized crime. To the outside world, his whole family were law-abiding citizens and honest businessmen.

Hu Chenghui is a member of organized crime, and Lin Jinfu wouldn't care how much trouble he caused, as long as it didn't affect his business. But this time, Lin Na actually conspired with Hu Chenghui to try and seize Lu Yuan's entrepreneurial achievements.

Both morally and logically, Lu Yuan is Lin Kai's friend and even helped Lin Kai gain experience. Lin Jinfu would definitely remember this favor and therefore wouldn't allow Lin Na to use such means to threaten Lu Yuan.

Suppose that Lin Na starts her own company and competes fairly with Lu Yuan, Lin Jinfu would not only not object, but would strongly support her.

Unfortunately, Lin Na chose the approach that Lin Jinfu disliked the most.

Lin Kai continued, "Because of this, my dad froze all her bank accounts, confiscated her car and house, and put her under house arrest."

"Is the punishment this severe?"

Lu Yuan was quite surprised, thinking that no matter what Lin Jinfu did, he would only scold Lin Na a few times.

"Of course. Do you even know what family boundaries are?" Lin Kai laughed. "When I was in elementary school, someone bullied me, so I just spent a hundred yuan to hire some older kids to beat him up so badly he ended up in the hospital. And guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked, quite curious.

"My dad beat me up so badly he broke the feather duster. Afterwards, he even took me to the hospital to apologize to the person who bullied me," Lin Kai said with emotion. "At that time, I thought my dad was just a coward. But then he told me that if I had beaten the person who bullied me into the hospital myself, he wouldn't have scolded me; he would have rewarded me. But I paid someone to beat me up, which is no different from hiring someone to kill someone. If he let me continue like this, I would definitely go down a path of no return."

"In short, my dad absolutely forbids us from following the path of the older generation. We can't even touch it; we have to have a clean background. My sister didn't listen, so she deserves to be punished."

After listening to Lin Kai's words, Lu Yuan roughly understood Lin Jinfu's intention.

No matter how powerful a force is, it's all just a matter of a notice in front of the government. In this country, you can only be an entrepreneur, never a capitalist.

Entrepreneurs are enthusiastic.

Capitalists are cannibals.

It's that simple.
